The Sports Trader had a slow day with just 1 cricket match, 4 horse races and 2 snooker matches traded.
My day started with the Twenty20 cricket match between Bangladesh and West Indies. I have found these matches good for trading with the odds changing very quickly and it is a case of getting the first trade right which then allows you to trade comfortably through the match. With this match I managed to back Bangladesh for £500 @ 1.35 just before the odds dropped down to 1.16 where I laid off all my first trade. I then had a few more very quick trades to leave me with a profit of £103.
My horse race trading was very uneventful as all 4 trades resulted in small profits to leave me with a total profit of £13.
In the evening I traded on 2 of the Premier League snooker matches. In the first one I laid the draw for £15 @ 26.00 which resulted in a profit of £15. In the second one I started backing Ronnie O Sullivan for £143 @ 1.90 but soon had to trade out of this when it appeared the Rocket wasn't firing properly. To lay Ronnie was going to leave me with a big loss so I decided to lay the draw and ended up losing £16 on the match.
My day had finished with a profit of £115.
